Don’t get us wrong: we love every kind of denim. Black, blue and brightly coloured pieces make up a hefty proportion of our wardrobes, with jackets, jeans and shirts featuring heavily among our everyday staples. But with the warmer weather rolling in, we’re turning our attention to a lighter look: white denim.
Not only does white denim pair perfectly with almost any colour, leaving us with near limitless styling options, but it also brightens up our wardrobes in time for summer (and beyond). Ahead, we’ve rounded up our favourite finds, from white denim shorts and skirts to jackets and jeans. You can thank us later.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by us. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, we may earn a commission.
